Chapter 125 Letting Go
Armandâs gaze fell upon Genevieveâs lips as she licked the corner of her lips and accidentally got her hair into her mouth. He felt his lower body warming up and lowered his head to kiss her.
Not wanting to lose, Genevieve continued struggling. Nevertheless, the difference in strength between a man and a woman was far too great. After a few seconds, her clothes were disheveled.
âDonât touch me, Armand!â Her face buried into the snowy white pillow as she turned sideways and glared at the man.
Since she could not fight against him using force, she started scolding him, âArenât you embarrassed for taking advantage of a girl like me at your age? Let go of me! Are you deaf?â
Upon seeing her response and hearing her words, Armand frowned. âIâm merely nine years older than you. Youâre saying as if Iâm fifty years old.â
Genevieve smirked. âIf you were that old, youâd be considered a beast. Iâd also have to call you an elderly.â
Armand was dumbfounded.
âYou can look for Marilyn or anyone else to satisfy your biological needs, so donât touch me! Disgusting!â
Genevieve sneered, âAnyhow, weâll just call off this deal! There are plenty of other people that can help me!â
Armandâs eyes darkened while looking at her fair-skinned back and cold, stubborn face.
Sheâs right.
There were many other leading companies in the business world. Other than the business world, many others were powerful in the political scene. After living a mundane life, some would lust for young girlsâ
bodies.
Genevieve was just like a budding flower, fresh and alluring. Many would stretch their hands at her at a word from her.
Armand forcefully turned her head for her to look at him while he continued to pin her down by her wrist.
âIn your opinion, we are not husband and wife even if weâve registered legally. However, the marriage certificate is real and legally binding. Iâm faithful to my marriage. Iâve neither touched any other women in the past nor present. Since you know Marilyn, you should know that Iâve broken up with her many years ago.â
Friction continued between Armandâs fingers and Genevieveâs wrist. âI can let it go when the situation calls for it.â
Although Marilyn cheated first, Armand broke off all ties with her after ending their relationship.
If Armand had not sworn to fulfill Samuelâs request when Samuel was on his death bed, Armand would not have allowed Marilyn to come to Jadeborough and comply with her requests.
Genevieve did not expect Armand to tell her these and was stunned momentarily.
Yet, some memories played in her mind like a film reel and settled the hint of hesitance in her heart.
Genevieve smirked. âWhatâs the matter? You two can still get together after breaking up. Moreover, Samuel died long ago. There are many cases where a younger brother marries their sister-in-law.â
âGenevieve, my morals are not that distorted.â Armand took a deep breath to appease the impending anger that the woman was creating.
âIf you are behaving so willfully because of the incident at the Faulkner residence the other day, shouldnât you already be appeased by the presents youâve received for the past few days? Moreover, my grandma slapped me too!â Armand always abided by the principle that actions spoke louder than words.
He was the kind of person who did not want to create trouble and was too lazy to explain too much.
Hence, it was the first time that he was explaining in detail to a woman and said more words than he had said in meetings at work.
The frustration in Genevieveâs heart dispersed after hearing Armand patiently explaining to her.
She lay still and stopped struggling.
âI received them as presents. I did not accept them as an apology.â Genevieve pouted. âItâs your grandma who hit you. If youâre unhappy, you should speak to her about it!â
Armand chuckled in a deep tone. âAre you changing your mind after accepting the gifts?â
He could feel that Genevieve was not as stiff anymore. After chuckling, he lowered his body and kissed her.
This time, their lips connected, and they had no intention of separating.
